2.2 FEATURESThis section describes the key features of the starter kit. Refer to Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 in Chapter 1. Introduction for their actual locations on the board.

2.2.1 Processor SupportThe dsPIC33E USB Starter Kit is designed with a permanently mounted (i.e., soldered) dsPIC33EP512MU810 DSC. Similarly, the PIC24E USB Starter Kit is designed with a permanently mounted (i.e., soldered) PIC24EP512GU810 MCU.

2.2.2 Power SupplyThere are two ways to supply power to the dsPIC33E or PIC24E USB Starter Kit: Connect the USB Debug connector J2 to a PC running MPLAB using the supplied

mini-B to full-sized A cable An external application board with a regulated DC power supply that provides +5V

can be connected to the application board connector (J3) that is provided on the bottom side of the board

One green LED (D4) is provided to show that the dsPIC33E or PIC24E device is being powered.

2.2.3 Debug USB ConnectivityThe dsPIC33E or PIC24E USB Starter Kit includes a PIC24FJ256GB106 USB micro-controller that provides debugger connectivity over USB. The PIC24FJ256GB106 is hard-wired to the dsPIC33E or PIC24E device to translate the I/O pins of the PIC24FJ256GB106 device to the ICSP pins of the dsPIC33E or PIC24E device. The debugger circuit also includes a 25LC256 Serial EEPROM device for data storage.The programming/debugging circuit on the dsPIC33E or PIC24E USB Starter Kit is similar in functionality and feature-set to the MPLAB PICkit 3 debugger.

2.2.4 dsPIC33E/PIC24E USB ConnectivityThere are three possible ways to connect to the dsPIC33E or PIC24E USB microcontroller: Host mode

Connect the device to the type-A connector J6, located on the top side of the starter kit. If using the debug USB port to power the Host port, install jumper J5 to short the back-power prevention diode. Note that a maximum of ~400 mA can be supplied from the debug USB port to the host port using this method. If the full 500 mA supply is needed for the application, an external supply must be connected to the application board and jumper J5 must be removed to prevent back-powering the debug USB port.

Device modeFirst, connect the debug mini-B USB cable to port J2. Next, connect the starter kit to the USB Host using a cable with a type-B micro plug to the starter kits micro-B port J4, located on the bottom side of the starter kit. The other end of the cable must have a type-A plug. Connect it to a USB host. Jumper J5 should be removed.

DS51936B-page 16 2010-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.

Hardware

2.2.5 SwitchesPush button switches (SW1, SW2 and SW3) provide the following functionality: SW1: Active-low switch connected to RD6 SW2: Active-low switch connected to RD7 SW3: Active-low switch connected to RD13The switches do not have any debounce circuitry and require the use of software debounce techniques. When idle, the switches are pulled high (+3.3V). When pressed, they are grounded.

2.2.6 LEDsThe LEDs (LED1, LED2 and LED3) are connected to PORT D of the processor: LED1: Active-high LED connected to RD0 LED2: Active-high LED connected to RD1 LED3: Active-high LED connected to RD2The corresponding PORT D pins must be configured as digital outputs and set high in order to turn on the LEDs.

2.2.7 Oscillator OptionsThe installed DSC or MCU has an 8 MHz crystal (Y3) connected to it. This crystal is used by the microcontrollers Primary Oscillator. Use of the external crystal is required in order to develop USB applications, as the USB specification dictates a frequency tol-erance of 0.25% for full speed. Non-USB applications can use the internal oscillators if preferred. The starter kit also has provisions for an external Secondary Oscillator (Y2); however, the crystal for this oscillator is not populated.The PIC24FJ256GB106 device is independently clocked and has its own 12 MHz crystal (Y1).

2.2.8 120-pin Modular Expansion ConnectorThe dsPIC33E or PIC24E USB Starter Kit includes a 120-pin modular expansion interface (Application Board Connector J3) on its bottom side. This allows the board to be optionally used in conjunction with other Microchip development boards such as the I/O Expansion Board or the Multimedia Expansion Board (MEB), thereby extending the functionality provided by the starter kit.
